Errors of the Human Body
Wake up...
Wake up...
Hello?
Is this Geoff?
Yeah.
This is Samuel here, we were
expecting you this morning?
Oh, Samuel... ah.
I completely passed out.
Okay, we'll see you soon.
Samuel Mead, please.
Injecting room here,
got your stereomicroscope.
Quarantine room
for incoming animals.
Microscope room with
confocal imaging station
- all the usual stuff:
Spinning disk confocal,
two photon confocal, upright
confocals with dipping lenses,
all the laser lines you could wish for.
Anything to make science beautiful.
We've got a cold room,
we've got a microbial culture room;
The autoclaves are downstairs.
There's a...
How's your
accommodation, Geoffrey?
Oh, fine, fine.
I was just wondering where
Oh, we don't really
do 'offices' per Se.
We're more communal than that.
Of course, we can loan you a lab
for the length of a given project.
Right...
Look who I found.
- Doctor Burton.
- Doctor Fiedler.
Rebekka's come a long way since
she was interned with you.
Yes, so I hear.
I'm sorry I can't leave this right now.
- We'll catch up later.
- Great.
- Shall we continue?
- Yes.
That way.
Now, there's something
else we need to do...
Sorry, I didn't...
Anyway, let's get your
security pass sorted out.
Son of a bitch...
Geoff...
How are you?
I'm fine, you?
I'm good. I'm setting up
the new research lab.
The one in Munich right?
No, Dresden... remember?
So, you must be happy?
What's that supposed to mean?
- It's nothing, forget about it...
- Hey babe! I'm home.
Hold on for a second.
So... what's up?
When were
you planning to tell me?
I was going to tell you, I really was.
Fm in my second month,
I wasn't quite sure
and I didn't tell anyone else.
Well, Joe and Karla knew.
Oh, no. That was Ben.
Right. Ben.
baby so he just told them.
You know...?
You're angry?
No.
Of course.
No. I'm not angry...
I'm just, I don't know.
Think about what?
Well, what do you want me
to say? Congratulations?
I dunno. Maybe you
can be happy for me.
What do you want?
Why did you call me?
I don't know why I called.
I miss you.
I have to go.
Geoffrey Burton comes
to us from U-Mass,
where his research
into early detection
of embryonic abnormalities has
certainly proved one of the more,
ah, fiercely-debated topics in the
scientific community this decade.
Now, I don't need to tell you
what the implications of this are.
The proverbial 'cure for cancer'
But the potential of
pre-natal discovery
certainly brings the possibility
a few steps closer.
And Geoffrey has now
come here to continue
politicized environment,
and he's going to speak
to us this morning
about the state of his work to date.
When you're ready...
Thank you.
Will you now all please join me
Thank you, thank you, Samuel...
become a geneticist.
My PhD. was actually on
bacterial biochemistry.
But, as I'm sure many of you know,
I was drawn to this
by my experience with my own son,
whose condition led me to focus
my research on screening embryos
for traces of rare genetic mutations
such as his.
I want to make one thing very clear:
This is not eugenics.
I'm not trying to develop
new techniques to pre-screen
people with brown eyes,
or dark skin, or freckles. I like freckles.
Diversity -
one of the things which defines us
as a species is to be celebrated.
Mutations which endanger
